Ghanaian comedian Derrick Kobina Bonney, popularly known as DKB, has recounted how his request to meet the President, Nana Akufo-Addo, never saw the light of day.
Speaking to aKorfa on Joy FM's Cosmopolitan Mix, he blamed it on the people that were supposed to have led the cause on his behalf.
"I made a request to visit Nana Addo at the Flagstaff House but it didn't seem to work out. I don't know why, but the people involved didn't make it materialise," he noted.
According to him, he prides himself as the only comedian that has performed before all the Presidents of Ghana.
In the meantime, the comedian is rallying support behind the Presidential Candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, ahead of the December 7, 2024 election.
DKB who performed at the launch of the NDC's Youth Manifesto soiree on August 12, 2024 at the Bukom Boxing Arena, mentioned he was happy that Mahama repeated two of his jokes.
"It was very pleasant and shocking to me when John Mahama repeated two of my jokes on stage. I couldn't sleep till morning. He's captured my heart and right now I'm a presidential comedian," DKB told aKorfa.
DKB also said he had made a pledge to return a favour for John Mahama, by campaigning for him.
"It was one huge endorsement in my whole career and I have been through a lot in this country so if a President is talking about your joke and how he loves your joke, the only thing you can also do is to help him become President and realise his dream. So right now, I am fully pushing John Mahama. It doesn't mean I hate NPP," he indicated.
DKB is not the only creative arts person who has declared support for the National Democratic Congress ahead of the December 7, 2024 election. Big Akwes, Christiana Awuni, Mercy Asiedu, Jack Alolome, and Kofi Okyere Darko are among the some of the people in the entertainment fraternity who have publicly endorsed the NDC.
